After learning that the camera on an iPhone 3GS in the hands of a fashion photographer can do wonders in a professional fashion shoot, a high-profile publication has put money where their mouth is and photographed a magazine cover using an iPhone 4.

When editors of the Macworld magazine decided to put an iPhone 4 on the September 2010 issue’s cover, they wanted something original rather than resort to stock photographs and press images. They hired their long-time contributing photographer Peter Belanger, whose clients include Apple and HP, to shoot a high-quality iPhone 4 image for the magazine cover using a five-megapixel camera on another iPhone 4.

But, that’s not all – the entire image editing and post-processing has been done on the device itself, using an assortment of photography and image editing apps available on the App Store. Specifically, Belanger used the $3 PhotoForge and the $1 Resize-Photo.

Someone’s pissed off they can’t afford the iPhone!

@roadkill: I have nothing against the phone itself. Just the relentless nonsensical coverage. In this particular case, highlighting the camera, which all agree is fine, but nothing special.

As far as craving or affording one, I have to leave that to @roadkill’s projection his own difficulties. Counseling might help?
